Special Issue on: "Technological Paradigms of Converging Nanotechnologies, Genomics and Genetics for Revolutionary Pathways of the Biomedicine"


Guest Editor:
Mario Coccia, CERIS-CNR, Italy


This special issue aims to analyze the technological paradigms of the converging nanotechnologies, genomics and genetics that address several technological trajectories in biomedicine. It will present and interpret the evidence on new drugs, devices, and medical practices, drawing from an interdisciplinary set of approaches, e.g. economics, sociology, biomedical engineering, psychology, etc. It is a forum where scholars can explicitly relate their analyses to the state of current medical innovations and potential blockbusters in biomedicine and nanomedicine.
